DUOTUNES, a new CD Featuring Doug Robinson and Ken Basman
Posted: March 22nd, 2017, 12:33 pm
My musical soulmate, guitarist Ken Basman, died in June of 2016. We had been working on a CD featuring our telepathic improvised guitar/piano duets entitled DUOTUNES. We had lots of great studio stuff in the can and after his passing, I had the beautiful bittersweet experience of choosing some great live tracks to flesh out the disc.
All I can tell you is that you don't own anything like this CD. Ken was a master who could switch from the angular energy of Scofield to the swing of Jim Hall without breaking a sweat. Together we simply fit--these tracks feel like you're eavesdropping on an intimate and playful conversation where the participants are likely to finish each others' thoughts.
You can listen to complete tracks here https://duotunes.hearnow.com, and then there will be a path to order either digital downloads or physical CDs from cdbaby.com. A portion of the profits will go to Ken's family.
Thanks.
